Welcome to Papaver Garden, a delightful café nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Okinawa, Japan. This unique spot is more than just a café; it's a heartwarming sanctuary for animal lovers, where you can enjoy delicious vegan treats alongside the company of rescued dogs and cats looking for forever homes.

As you step into Papaver Garden, you're enveloped in a serene ambiance filled with calming colors and Scandinavian breezes. The café features an inviting botanical garden that amplifies the comforting vibe, making it an ideal retreat from the hustle of daily life.

For those craving something sweet, the café's selection of vegan cakes, including the beloved pumpkin tart pie, is a must-try. Imagine indulging in a slice of this delectable pie, its warm spices enveloping your senses, paired with refreshing drinks that complement the atmosphere beautifully. Customers have praised the taste, though be prepared for a gentle pace – good things come to those who wait, after all!

But the real magic of Papaver Garden lies in its furry residents. With 5 dogs and 5 cats, each with their own story, you can easily lose track of time snuggling and playing with these adorable animals. As one visitor, Tsubasa Gabriela, shared, “I absolutely recommend all dog lovers to go to this café! I stayed there for 4 hours and didn't want to leave… I will definitely come back again!” It’s a sentiment echoed by many who find comfort and joy in the presence of these loving creatures.

The café's spirit of rescue extends beyond just serving food; it creates a community of compassion and support for these animals. Customers like Tara is Tarzan express their gratitude, stating how Papaver Garden helped them feel a little less homesick for their own pets. Whether it's the playful kittens that curl up on your lap or the cuddly dogs that greet you with wagging tails, there's a bond of love and empathy that permeates the space.

Moreover, the environment here is designed to accommodate both cats and dogs in separate rooms, so visitors can enjoy the best of both worlds. A harmonious atmosphere fosters real connections between animals and humans, reminding us of the vital role that pets play in our lives. Just ask Hirokazu Katsuki, who found solace here, proclaiming, “I feel like I have found the piece that I was missing.”

However, Papaver Garden is not without its challenges, as noted by a guest who mentioned the care of one of the cats needing attention. While most experiences are heartwarming, this advice emphasizes the importance of ongoing care for the animals, showcasing the café's commitment to their well-being.

Ultimately, Papaver Garden is a unique haven for those looking to unwind with treats that are as kind to the planet as they are delicious. With a dedication to animal rescue and a warm-hearted community, it’s easy to see why visitors leave with joyful hearts and intentions to return. Experience the magic for yourself and witness the blend of sweet delights and furry love that Papaver Garden offers!

I absolutely recommend all the dog lovers to go this cafe! The owner has rescued 5 dogs and 5 cats and helping them to look for new family!! They also have yummy vegan cakes. I have stayed there for 4 hours and didn't wanna leave… I will definitely come back again! Thank you Ryouchi & Aoi!!

I truly loved spending time with these pups. The experience was relaxing and fun, and the pups were relaxed and friendly while we were there. The pumpkin tart pie was so good and the drinks were refreshing. My only input is that it did take us a while to get the piece of pie and it put us over the first 30min of our stay. We really enjoyed it though and hope to go back again sometime. The roads and parking are a little tight, but they ensured we had a parking spot

I feel like I have found the piece that I was missing. As an adult, I have more responsibilities and less time. The physical and psychological contact with other animals that animals fundamentally need. You will feel the love for nature and animals from the animals, including the staff, the Scandinavian breezy interior, and the botanical garden, which I can say there is no better place to be absent together. If you are a “Good Vibes” person, come and join us.

Such a relaxing and comfortable place We were missing our pets back home and came here to receive some love and love did we receive! The cats and dogs are all rescues and you can read about their stories. They are in separate rooms so you can spend time in both environments. The cats and kittens were so playful and friendly, sitting on our laps. The dogs were also so cuddly and happy. The owner is so kind and helpful, he aided us in reversing out of the parking area even though it was raining The food and drinks were also so refreshing and vegan! This was a great place to spend time at and the money goes towards their rescue program Make sure you have a translation app handy to translate the menu and information

The cats were absolutely adorable and kind to me and each other. The cats are so my happy place, I will definitely be coming more often! But... There is this one cat who had a hole in her stomach and was bleeding a lot, I don't like that they don't put a cone or some coverage, so the cat isn't constantly licking the wound and getting blood everywhere. It was really sad to watch.

A fully vegan café with no animal products. Serves delicious desserts, coffee, soba, and homemade ginger ale. (They are so good) Relax with animals in a cage-free, calm space Ethical adoption, not pet shops You can ask animal’s background directly from the staff. A thoughtful place promoting ethical adoption and respect for all living beings. A peaceful place made with love for animals & nature. Highly recommended

A magical place with adorable cats and dogs that also has delicious coffee and food. The dogs were all so sweet, and the kittens incredibly playful. Plus the owners are kind and help to restore your faith in humanity. Definitely a hidden gem within the community that you will want to return to.
